Today, in America, 42 million women get abortions every year. There are two legal ways to get an abortion. The first way is a surgical abortion which includes many different methods like a vacuum abortion which removes the fetus or embryo from the woman. The older way is to mix herbs together like a medicine this was found common in pre-historic times. Today in the U.S. the debate goes on whether to make abortion legal or illegal. This is one issue that splits the party lines. If you are pro-life, this is the conservative standpoint they think abortion should be illegal. The pro-choice standpoint believes that it is a women’s right to choose. This is more of a liberal standpoint.
Today, in the 21st century, there are some people who are just unfit to have kids. You see more and more kids having kids at younger ages, and the statistics say that children born to teens are more likely to have messed up lives. 14 and 15 year olds are not fit to have kids; this is why abortion should be legal. Demographics also show that young people who have kids have more of a chance to be on welfare, which is more of a strain on the community and economy.
If the government were to shut down abortion clinics, they would be eliminating help to rape or incest victims. If a rape victim were to have a baby, she might have love for that child, but everyday when she looked at her kid, she would have horrific memories or dreams. There is no reason why someone should have to go through that everyday.
However, people should not be able to use abortion as a type of birth control; that is just morally wrong. Everyone deserves a second chance, but not at the cost of human life. This is why there should be stipulations in place to prevent people from using abortions as birth control. But at the end of the day it should not be up to the government to dictate what a women can and cannot do with her body.
